Tony Stark is hard at work on a project at Avengers Mansion
when Beast stops by to drop off Broo, reminding Tony that he had agreed to let
the young student shadow him for the day. He tries to ignore the kid as he is
trying to build a Shi’ar cosmic wormhole generator—and then Broo makes one in a
couple of minutes. Tony uses the report of a minor criminal disturbance as a
pretext to change into Iron Man and escape. He comes upon some of the Chessmen
attempting to rob a farmers’ market. Broo jury rigs a glider and follows him
out there in time to see the third-rate villains take Shellhead down with an
EMP. Broo gets him working again in seconds and Iron Man clobbers the baddies.
Grateful, Tony has the kid shadow him throughout the day, trying on armors,
gambling at a casino, fighting alongside Thor, meeting Broo’s idol Nova, and traveling
out into space to marvel….

Synopsis: Doctor Doom lands on the South Dakota farm
demanding the mutant Skrulls; he is met by a team of Avengers and X-Men and the
battle begins. Doom crushes Wasp between his hands then electrocutes Iron Man.
He breaks Hulk’s arm, forcing a change back to Bruce Banner and then Doom
breaks Banner’s neck. Doom decapitates Wolverine and seizes Mjolnir from Thor
and clobbers him—and then Doom realizes something isn’t right. This has been an
illusion placed in Doom’s head by the Skrull telepath Z’Cann. Captain America
explains that Doom’s armor was immobilized by a EMP device while the others have
gone back to Latveria…
…where Cyclops leads the mutant Skrulls of Cadre K plus Ant-Man,
Emma Frost, and the Stepford Cuckoos in destroying Doom’s lab where he was studying
the captive Skrull. They discover a huge Skrull/Doombot prototype which fights
them….
Back on the farm, Doom teleports out of his armor and sets
it to self-destruct; the explosion hurls Cap and Z’Cann through the air but she
is able to stop them telepathically. Then a SHIELD team led by Agent Scott
Adsit arrives. Cap tries to explain that Z’Cann is no threat, which only leads
Adsit to assume that Cap is really a disguised Skrull and he shoots at him….
